| 0:00.0 | Today is the fifth anniversary in which Boone County deputy Jacob Pickett was killed in the line |
| 0:07.8 | of duty. I went to high school with Jacob. He was a tremendous guy. It just a great dude. |
| 0:16.2 | And it was very, very sad for anybody who knew him. Obviously, those of us who grew up with him, |

| 0:26.9 | remember that because it really sucks when someone who contributed so much to society and did |
| 0:34.0 | so much and was willing to give his life for the people around him and in his community has their |
| 0:40.0 | life taken away by some just irrelevant awful piece of sludge. And Eric quote, justice was done |
| 0:48.2 | thankfully in that case, but justice is never never really done, right? I mean, even if the person |
| 0:52.3 | gets the death penalty or whatever, when somebody as great a person as Jacob has their life taken |
| 0:57.6 | away from him, justice is never served, but I wanted to do my part today and just remember him |
| 1:03.6 | and just put his name back out there in the public's mind because he was a really good dude. |
| 1:08.7 | Yeah. And they say that grief comes in waves and I'm sure his family is dealing with that today, |
| 1:13.9 | his friends and family. |
